Let's go. Hi, everyone, and welcome back to Sex, Lies and DM Slides with me, Safran Barker. And me, Anastasia Kingsnall. Another week, another two episodes to catch you up on our lives and talk about all things sex, dating and relationships. Yeah, well, Saf, I feel like this one might be a very big one for you in particular. Yeah, yeah. Because we've had a hard launch in the building. We have, and no one was expecting it whatsoever. Yourself included. Me included. Like, guys, I knew who mystery man was okay it wasn't mystery man to me

but now when you posted him the way my jaw dropped like genuinely it nearly hit the fucking floor because I have never seen a hard launch quite like it wasn't just you but it was a collab post hard launch it was yeah well I wasn't just gonna do it myself that would have been so weird well yes I know but I was just so like I don't know where to look first like do I go read the comments do I look at the pictures like do I go on tiktok what do I do first no I know honestly it is it is so weird because like we had never posted each other like on our stories like there was never actually it's funny some people figured out who mystery man who isn't a mystery anymore but who he was like because you know we even with the episode where

I spoke about going away of someone to Monaco like if you follow both of us you would know that we're both in Monaco like we were sat pretty much in the same like area watching the same thing like there was so some people actually managed to figure it out, which I thought was so weird because I was like, how? Like we do not have the same sort of followers. Like surely we don't have the same sort of followers. No. But it was still a shock because we never actually posted together.

Yes. But the thing is, even though I knew who you were with when you were in Monte Carlo, but I still went and watched his stories just to see what he'd posted because I wanted to see if you were posting in the same place and I was like it kind of I think it was obvious to me it was obvious but maybe that's just because I knew but like you said I guess we didn't didn't expect to have the crossover of the same followers no yeah like there was a there was a couple of people that I think had an inkling but it was also like there was nothing because we never said to each other like oh let's post stories here and like let's see people figure it out like we

would just post how we'd normally post yeah but obviously we weren't getting each other in it so yeah there was like the odd person that would like figure it kind of like figure out I remember reading some tweets that this was like weeks and weeks ago like I'm saying it here first Safran Barker and Lewis are dating like I've never seen some tweets like that but obviously it was like the odd person and no one would like pick up on it so yeah yeah yeah the hard launch was it was a thing it was a hard launch okay I am gonna ask all the questions on behalf of the people today because I know everyone is so fucking curious there's lots of questions to be asked okay let's start at the very very beginning how did you both meet um okay so we actually matched

on riot the app that we dislike and talk about how much we dislike it so much we've said that for like a year and a half I know we've been like riot is shit yeah it's so weird and the thing is as well was like neither of us like we've both asked each other this we actually had no idea who each other were like I'd never seen him in my life and vice versa. So if it wasn't for Raya, there is no way that we'd be speaking right now. Like just no way. But yeah, so we matched on Raya. And at this point in my life,

I remember I was saying, I say this point in my life, guys, it really wasn't that long ago. But I remember like the first episode we came back, obviously Anna and I always talk about, you know, how we'd love to have a boyfriend and be in a relationship. And of course that was true. But also I said in the episode how I'm in such a different place right now.

And before this, I remember I was just like in a really bad place with guys. Like as much as I did want a boyfriend, I kind of just like given up. I was just like, ugh, kind of just a bit more like over it. Whereas like before that, I was just like, ugh. Kind of just a bit more like over it. Whereas like before that, I was like so desperate for a boyfriend. So I'd matched with him on Raya just because I was literally bored one evening. And then he messaged me and I didn't even reply.

Like I fancied him, but I just thought, ugh. Like I was literally just that. You were just a bit over men at this point. Yeah. Like I don't even, yeah. Like I just couldn't even be asked to reply. I just, I don't even, yeah. Like I just couldn't even be asked to reply. I just, I don't know. Let's go.

I'm like, yeah, it's obvious, but yeah. And then I guess we just started speaking from there. But even so, I was just like, oh, he's really fit, but like nothing's going to come from it. Also, I've spoken about this a lot as well. I've never wanted to be of anyone in sports because stereotypical, they don't have a good name for themselves. Like they just don't.

So we spoke for ages and ages and he was very, I think the thing that I found the most attractive about him was he was very forward. Like I remember we even went out one night, do you remember? And I was like, oh my God, he's messaged me this. I remember.

And so he basically, long story short, is he like out of nowhere was like, oh, we should FaceTime. I am such a FaceTimer. Like no one understands. Yes, we know you are. Such a FaceTimer. You love it.

Yeah, and I always, well not always, as if I'm asking every guy, but whenever I ask a guy if they want to FaceTime they'll like they'll just put it off like they won't FaceTime and the fact that he asked me to FaceTime I was like okay right there's FaceTime now then and so yeah we literally FaceTimed and then we FaceTimed pretty much every day since and so that's how that happened okay so from that from obviously matching on Raya, but you never end up speaking on Raya,

which I actually think is quite nice. He must have really fancied you. Then go on to Instagram message you being like, I want to speak to you. Do you know what I mean? He's trying to get your attention. We like to see that. How did the first date come about from all these FaceTime calls?

How does it develop? Oh God, this first date is a bit of a weird. This is why I've been like actually scared to talk about this because I don't feel like our situation is the most normal. Like, oh, we went on our first date. It didn't, honestly, I could sit here and live. I'm just, I can't. So basically, long story short,

when we first started speaking to each other, he was going into the World Cup. So we would like exchange messages. And this was before we'd FaceTimed. And even before we FaceTimed, he was like, oh, come so we would like exchange messages and this was before we'd facetimed and even before we facetimed he was like oh come and see me at the world cup and i'm telling you now i'm never flying to another country for a guy that i've never met like it is not happening it will never happen i think the guy should make the effort especially at first and so i was i was always like well no you can come see me if you

want to see me and his response was always I can't I'm in the world cup and I just thought like oh he's just gonna be such a dickhead like he thinks any girl's gonna come out and fly to him like there's no way yeah so basically couldn't see him for such a long time and then long story short he had been kicked out the world cup all right simply sorry he did get verified and very bad did very well very very proud of the welsh um but but yes he got kicked out the world cup so he was like oh we're like kicked out the world cup so i have like a couple of days free before i start training again and I was like oh my god no way but obviously we live like obviously nowhere near each other obviously you're not going to live next door that just wouldn't be you it just wouldn't be me sums me up to a t um and so long story short he was like I can come down and see you

so our first date he came down to Brighton and he basically ended up staying the whole weekend so our first date we went out for lunch when he got here we went out for lunch it was really nice and I remember instantly I mean I already knew him so well genuinely like it wasn't awkward from the second we saw each other we FaceTimed a lot so I feel like that kind of takes the edge off of it anyway, because you've spoken to each other like face to face on the phone. Yeah, exactly. That's why I like a FaceTime. Why don't people like FaceTiming? It makes it so much less awkward.

Yeah, it probably does. But I would be quite nervous to FaceTime a boy before the date. Oh, see, I just I just think it's so much better I honestly do because I just think you get to know them if if they're an awkward person then you'll figure that out on FaceTime I just I don't know I think the idea of FaceTime sounds so much worse than it is maybe it does but I'll give it a go I need to clearly I need to take a leaf out of your book because you're doing something right so maybe I'll FaceTime before no you actually should um but yeah so I felt like I knew him anyways before he like got here was really nice but then this is where it went so wrong and genuinely I don't know how we're together because of what I'm about to tell you um so really nice blah blah and then we were going out in the evening

and we were drinking all day and obviously I was really nervous because I've really liked him and it's so weird because I don't get nervous around guys no like I genuinely don't like I've never done this in my life cut long story short we were drinking from we went out for lunch so early then we went out in the evening and we didn't stop drinking and there was you drinking at lunch yeah we're drinking at lunch too okay i was on vodka for the first day yeah right i was on vodka from 12 o'clock but then i started mixing my drinks and this is where it went so wrong and i was taking shots that you've never known okay when I we ended up seeing people out it was just it's just not what you imagine the first time you see someone yeah anyways long story short I got so drunk so drunk to the point where

like I actually can't even think about it it actually upsets me because I was throwing up like I was in a awful state like awful like the I would probably say the most drunk I've ever been to the point where I don't actually remember like three hours of the night like he was telling me things I'd done and I was doing and I have no recognition of it well I can vouch for that because you forgot that you facetimed me oh my god I facetimed you that night you facetimed me that night because I was away you say it was like it would have been like three in the morning or two in the morning for you but I was away so I answered the phone and I thought oh that's right

I was very late at home and obviously you were in a state and I was like trying to get out I was like what's going on what's going on are you okay you okay but you were gone so when I messaged you the next day I was like you okay you said you're like I don't remember calling you no I don't like I don't remember it was so bad and honestly if I was in his position I wouldn't be with me and the fact that he has stuck around after that I was like okay he's a keeper he's a keeper because I don't think I genuinely don't think I would have stuck around I just don't think I could have yeah no I was that embarrassing it wasn't an ideal first date situation it wasn't but you know what I thought though also like he's seen me at my worst so if he can love me at my

worst he can love me at my best exactly now he knows what he's in for yeah and maybe for you to not mix your drinks actually saying that's what he's in for I've never been like that in my life no that's before I haven't seen you in a state like that like I that was genuinely had on my heart never ever ever been like that like I can drink a lot like I get drunk but never to that extent like I'm never sick ever no I don't think I've ever I think I've seen you sick once in like seven years yeah I think I've been sick one other time yeah so that's how you know you're in a bad way I know I just and honestly I it must have just been nerves because I didn't stop drinking I feel like drinking does like not that we're promoting drinking or that but like it does just take the edge off of it when you're on a

first date yeah just don't drink don't drink as much as I did guys because or do because then you're really testing them and if they still stick around then it's great test your limits with them on the first day it might be quite nice okay so from this first date then what boxes did he tick because obviously it was a first date but it was like a first date weekend so I thought you got to know each other very well yeah um well I think we have the same sense of humor like I figured that before I even met him like he's very sarcastic um and like witty and he can take sarcasm as much as he can like give it sort of thing and like that I enjoyed um but also like just from the minute I met him like he was just so polite and oh god look he's gonna be listening to this I just feel so cringe look at

you um she's all up in her feels huh she's all up in her feels. Huh? She's all up in her feels. Loads of things. He's just so kind. Like, I remember from the minute I met him, just thinking, like, he's actually a good person. Also, he's super close to his family. And, like, I loved that. Babe, we love to see it.

Yeah. I guess, I don't know. I just feel like we are just so similar. Like, we just are so similar in so many ways. Yeah. Not to jump the gun, but I feel like you've met your match. In a lot of ways. Yeah, not to jump the gun, but I feel like you've met your match in a lot of ways. I really do.

Okay, so moving on from the first date, another date you went on, which obviously we spoke about in the podcast, was Monte Carlo. How on earth did that come about? He was going to watch one of his friends fight, basically okay um and so like I'd met loads of his friends I've met his agents um yeah I mean I guess it was really quite a big deal like I honestly although I hadn't although it wasn't like meeting the family it felt like quite a big deal because I

was meeting like that is a big everyone that he knew yeah yeah of course that's a big deal. Everyone that he knew. Yeah. Yeah, of course that's a big deal. So, yeah, I guess that's kind of really how that came about. Yeah, he asked me before we even met each other, which is so funny. That is crazy. What was Monte Carlo like? Was it nice? I've never been. I really want to go.

Yeah, it's so nice. It's just full of rich people. I didn't know they don't pay tax there, do they? They don't pay tax there? No. Or maybe it's really low. Oh, good. I don't want to get that wrong. But I wouldn't say they don't pay tax there do they they don't pay tax there no or maybe it's really low oh good I don't want to get that wrong but I wouldn't say they don't pay tax there I'll say that's probably why they're filthy rich oh my god it's like ridiculous yeah is it giving

like Lambos everywhere Ferraris yeah Bentley's like yeah you've never seen cars yeah you've never seen cars like it it was just actually But yeah, it was such a nice trip. And it's crazy because like, I'm a very spontaneous person. And I know that's because I'm also fortunate enough that I can, you know, I'm in a position where I can be spontaneous with my job. Like I completely appreciate that. But I've always wanted to be with someone that's like that. Like that's always been my dream. Like if someone said to me tomorrow, I mean, even if it's not like go away to Monte Carlo, but like if someone said like, oh, tomorrow, should we just go on a drive to,

I don't know, up north and do this? I'd be like, yeah, why not? Obviously. Yeah, I think, of course, it's just nice having that in a relationship, a friendship, whatever. I feel like it keeps it exciting. Yeah, exactly.

And so like that, yeah, that was obviously one thing that I was like, oh my God, this is so exciting because he's literally like me. Because if I liked someone, I would genuinely ask them that as early as he did. Oh, babe, I would as well. I've said I want to go on like a trip as a first date.

Like I want to meet at the airport. I think you should. I honestly think you should do that. Yeah, but finding someone who's also up for that on Hinge is proving quite the fucking challenge. Well, maybe it's Raya. Maybe it's Raya you need to be on. Maybe it is Raya.

Everyone I match with on Raya, though, lives actually miles away. I'm not matching with anybody in the country, which makes it even harder. But then you could meet in the middle. We could meet in the middle. That's kind of given scary. And also, it was different for me because like,

well, obviously before I went, I'd met him. But we had FaceTimed so many times. Exactly. So doing what you want to do is a whole, I feel like a whole different level. A hundred percent. But I will do it. If I do it for anybody, it'll be for the pod.

Just for experience. Just to say I've done it. Yeah. it'll be for the pod just for experience just to say I've done it yeah so what did you notice about yourself in this like whole thing because obviously it has been a little bit of like a whirlwind romance I guess because obviously before you said you weren't you know you weren't really looking for anything you weren't really looking to be with anyone what kind of change like did it shock you the change yeah it definitely shocked me especially because I I know I've like briefly spoken about this but like I really I hate judging people before I've met them and I would like to think that I really don't do that. But with him, I did judge him before I met him. Like I

just thought he was going to have such an ego. I just thought like he's in sports and like the rumors and not even just rumors, but because obviously, although sport is completely different to what we do, it's still part of our industry. Like, yeah, I know a lot of people that play sports. And just like the stories that I hear, I'm just like, I just, I don't know. I just, I'd never heard some stories. Yeah, we've heard some stories.

I feel like a lot of people would have that thought. Like just as though a lot of people probably have the same thing about like influencers. Yeah, I guess so. They would say the same thing about us. Yeah. So I think that was a very normal thought for you to have. Yeah, completely. And that is actually so true.

Like the amount of like the stigma that an influencer gets is awful so yeah I guess I guess same sort of thing um actually it's funny because I asked him the other night I asked him when we were in bed I said what was your first opinion on me and we were actually talking about like our first opinions on each other but we were talking about when we'd actually met each other rather than oh okay obviously like when we first started like texting and stuff um anyway sorry to go back to the question um I don't I like I literally don't know like I think it's just because I just liked him enough like I just I don't know and it's funny because they do always say like it comes when you're least expecting it and I tell you what I'm as shocked as everyone else because I feel like a boyfriend yeah you really weren't expecting

it you for the I feel like for the first time you were very much like I I don't want a boyfriend at all no and the thing is that is rare for me like I love being in a relationship yeah I feel you are like a relationship girly I feel like you just are yeah I just am I just feel like I'm just meant to be yeah I don't know just with one person like that's just the way that I've always like wanted to be so yeah it's so like it genuinely is so weird and like when people say like it will come when you're least expecting it it really genuinely will which is so much easier said than done because like for that whole like for the well I've been single for like two and a bit years now yeah and the whole two years I was like yeah but I'm not expecting it so why is it

not just like coming like I just never believed it but like secretly deep down I did want a boyfriend but yeah when I was speaking to him I genuinely did not want to be not even just him because I prejudged him a bit but also I just didn't yeah I just didn't care for a boyfriend whatsoever I was just very much like it's fine I'm just gonna do my own thing that is the nicest thing though because I feel like if someone has said to you six months ago this is the position you're gonna be in the six months you're gonna have been to Monte Carlo with this boy blah blah you're gonna be dating him you would have been like no I'm fucking not.

No, I know. Like, genuinely. I mean, even now saying I have a boyfriend, like, it's just weird. It's not weird because obviously he's my boyfriend, but like, it's just weird. No, but it is a little bit weird. I wasn't expecting it. Yeah, but like, do you know what I mean?

Like, several months ago, we were both super single girlies. Now you're like, I'm staying with a boyfriend. It is a massive change. Yeah. But like, such an exciting change. And now you're going into hot girl winter with a man. know I love this for you now are you gonna do the whole like winter wonderland we actually are we actually are we've actually already but because the thing is like we're both busy people um there's me like oh my god I'm so excited because like he's spontaneous

and everything else his schedule is ridiculous so and like so's spontaneous and everything else. His schedule is ridiculous. So, and like, so is mine. And so to find time to see each other is going to be hard. So like we've already had to plan everything, like literally every time we're seeing each other for the rest of the year. Even like January, we've had to like speak about when we're seeing each other. Okay. She said prep. Jesus Christ.

Yeah. So anyways, we are going to Winter Wonderland. I'm so excited. I love this for you. It's going to be so cute. So yeah, I can't wait for that. Can we find you a, can we find you a guy

so we can go on a double date there? Please. First of all, does he have any friends? And two, if he doesn't have any friends, anybody listening, I would really like to go on a date to Winter Wonderland this year. Yes.

We would love you to come. Please. Yeah, because I've never done a go on a date to winter wonderland this year yes we would love you to come please yeah because I've never done a winter wonderland date before and I'm desperate for it I haven't met all his mates yet so once I'm well I've met obviously a fair few of his mates but when I start meeting the single mates don't you worry I'm gonna be getting their numbers for you yeah just be like oh my best friend just do do you think she's pretty? Like, would you go to this one's good, to this one's land? Just chuck that in there. I will be, I will be. You said that you met some of his friends,

but I know that you've also met his parents. So how did the whole meet the parents go? Oh, it was actually, honestly, it couldn't have actually gone any better. Like, I love his family so much they're just such kind people it's so weird actually because he still hasn't met my family which like it never happens that way around I know yeah you've met his first for the first time yeah so weird but um no they're honestly all so so so lovely like oh his mom's like the cutest thing oh his yeah they're just all so nice.

Like they're just so nice. Um, the first time I met them was obviously when I went to his, cause he lives with his family. So obviously I was meeting them all in one go. Um, and yeah, I definitely was nervous, but also I was a bit like, we're so similar. So I, I don't know. I was nervous, but I was just just like it is what it is also so did you take a bottle of wine I did take a bottle of wine until it was funny is I didn't even oh it was uh my mum told me to get it because his parents don't drink red wine so it's white wine and it was a bottle of shabnys and my mum told me to get that because apparently it's really nice but I don't drink wine so I couldn't tell you but it's so funny because when I first met his parents we were like

literally getting in the door to then go out we were all going out for food and so I literally had to like get in say hi blah blah and then get changed and so I didn't even give the bottle of wine until I left oh you're joking it was like a little goodbye present. Thank you for having me. Here's some wine. Yeah. So do you know what? I didn't even need the bottle of wine. There's me saying, oh my God,

I always give a bottle of wine, but it was fine. No, but it's a lovely gesture. So what did you do then? You literally got there and then when you were like properly meeting them for the first time, did you go out for dinner

or like food? Yeah. Yeah. Well, we all went out for like drinks and then dinner and then yeah. Oh my God. How did it end? Yeah. And went really well you're now you're in the fam it went really well I was being really careful with my drinks yeah no no mixing drinks no this is the thing like I now when I go out

drinking with him although he's actually in the worst the worst I'm like terrified every time because I'm like I actually can't get in that state. And obviously the first time I was meeting his parents, I was like, I absolutely cannot get in this state. No, I mean, to be honest, I don't think...

Like I said, I've never been like it before, but... Yeah, and I don't think it could really be any worse than that, to be honest. No, no. Oh, it really couldn't. It physically couldn't. It really couldn't, yeah.

It's funny though, the other night we went out and he got so drunk. Oh my God, he's going to hate me for saying this. And you know, he's actually never listened to a podcast episode, but guaranteed. He's going to listen to this one. But we went out the other night and he got so drunk

and I just thought to myself, yeah, how the roles are reversed. Don't be giving me stick. Yeah. Okay, well, now you've met his parents are there any plans in place for him to meet yours yeah he is actually going to be meeting my parents very very soon um oh my god exciting yeah which is really exciting but I don't know what we're doing or like like I said it's a bit weird now obviously because I don't live at home so

like I have to go make plans like to go meet my parents somewhere I don't know like it's weird because I before when anyone had ever met my parents I was living at home so it was just easy like they just come over and meet my parents um but yeah like I'm sure I'm sure they really like him oh my god it's so funny though because my mom I was speaking to her the other day and she was like isn't it so weird how like we've not met him and I was like well yeah but it's so intentional like it's just it's just I don't know just the way it's been like I guess yeah and she was like I know but normally it's the other way around she said and to be honest like I mean you know it all depends on what I think I was like okay calm down but the thing is she's gonna

love him no I'm sure she will I know she's gonna love him like there's no reason that she wouldn't yeah any anyone yeah anyone I like she'll like so exactly well she didn't want to but let's not let's not talk about that one just make sure that your looks are in the eye yeah exactly exactly but um we're gonna talk about something else we're gonna talk about this hard launch because right this went this wasn't just a little soft launch this was a full-blown collab instagram post like we said what prompted you to suddenly hard launch in such a shocking way? It's why you laugh every time you say it. Because when I saw it,

obviously I knew who Mystery Anne was and me and Saf had had the conversation about potentially showing it online obviously because of the pods and stuff.

But like she hadn't directly told me that she was like about to post and gonna do it so when I saw it I just stared do you want to know how basically I don't actually know so the thing is he went to the he went to a premiere with me and we got pictured and it was already in the papers yeah so like and then then we had gone out in wales together and it was all in the papers and so we were just like it's literally everywhere in the papers anyways like it was already in the daily mail the sun or the welsh articles like it was in all of them. So we were just a bit like, everyone's going to pick up on this and like know we're together anyway. So we may as well just

like, obviously like people who read the paper are different to people online. So like we figured that like, obviously some people were sending it to us, but it wasn't like, it wasn't like how we hard launched it, I guess. But yeah, we were just a bit like it's been put everywhere anyways and for the premiere I just got like my photos taken like normal and obviously I wanted to get some of us together because like you know we were all dressed up and stuff and so she was just my friend Lucy who was taking the pictures he just like came and literally just like it wasn't planned like we're gonna have photos together he just came and like stood and just I guess ended up having some photos with me we never like planned like for those to be pictures that like we were gonna hard launch them or anything they were just

genuinely were pictures and we both just loved them so much and we were like it's we'd gone out the night before and it'd been posted everywhere like in the paper so we were just like oh we may as well just post together and And so, yeah, we did.

Save big on electronics, fashion, and more this Prime Big Deal Days, October 8th and 9th. Let's go. First of all, they are the most beautiful pictures ever. Oh, thanks.

They are such nice photos to have. There's actually ones of us like walking down the the hallway but i swear to god it looks like we're getting married so i was like we cannot post these like they were both so dressed up obviously yeah you were going to a premiere so like you look beautiful but like they're like the best photos that you could use for a hard launch ever like that is not being beaten when I eventually hard launch a boyfriend not sure how I'm gonna hard launch like you're gonna hard launch them now rather than soft launch them no I still am gonna do a soft launch I think I'm definitely gonna do a soft

launch I don't know how it happened but well what has the reaction been since you've posted it online I mean to be honest it was only really kind of what I was expecting it to be like because the thing is like we share our lives online and obviously being with the podcast like everyone hears about our love life and our relationships and stuff and so um I know that people want to know those sort of things yeah um and so yeah like when I tell you my for you page like on TikTok my DMs everything well the thing is as well not only the reaction from people that follow us which by the way I actually can't genuinely believe how kind people are because the amount of like messages and I've not been able to sit and reply to all of them but the amount of messages from people that listen to the podcast

that follow me that have actually sent me like huge paragraphs saying things like and I wish I had screenshot some of them so I could read them out but saying things like I'm genuinely so happy for you like I've followed you for so long I've listened to your podcast for so long and it's so nice for you to finally meet someone and to see you happy and I just think oh my god that is like the nicest thing in the entire world like that genuinely someone is like happy to see me happy and obviously is like it's gonna be the same with you when you find someone because everyone's you know heard all our struggles heard all our good days our bad dates um so yeah like the messages and stuff are just the cutest thing but also it's funny because how I didn't tell you I didn't tell anyone aside from my mom I didn't tell anyone that I was posting those pictures so like

my phone blew up off of like my friends, my family. Like, yeah, it was crazy. So I texted you straight away. I was like, Oh my God. I can't remember what you put. I can't remember what I put. Should I get it up? Wait, hang on. It's funny as well because I was saying to Lewis, I was like, Oh my God, I can't believe we're going to hard launch. And he was like, what are you on about? And I was like, we're going to hard launch. And he was like, I don't get it.

And so I had to explain to him what soft launch and hard launch was. Oh, he didn't know? No. Because he's like, never posted with a girl before, so he didn't even know that was a thing. Oh, it's a serious thing. I'm sorry, I've just seen the messages. So, you sent me the pictures, or some of the pictures before you posted them.

I didn't say I posted them, right? I just sent you them. You just sent me the pictures and I put, okay, now those are pictures. Jesus Christ, you look amazing. And then I sent you a picture of me and Byron laying in bed and I put you and your man versus me and mine. I think you won. I And it's me and Byron looking hagged in bed. And you thought, I love you. Had the best few days. Oh my God. Oh, the babes, blah, blah, blah.

And then where's, hang on. Oh, I put, this is on Sunday at one minute to six. The way my jaw is just dropped seeing your Insta post. Babe, I need to know everything, blah, blah. But I literally, the way my jaw is just dropped. But then I was saying to you, like, people have tiktoks and they've cut off my feed page and my question box was like flooded with did you know who mystery man was yes I knew who mystery man was like but like you said everyone's had such lovely reactions which has been so yeah which is so

nice I guess another thing you didn't know you didn't actually know that we were like, because the thing is with us is like, we, everyone, all my friends keep asking me like, how did he ask you to be his girlfriend, blah, blah, blah. But honestly, it felt like we were together from the minute like we'd really met each other. That we never really stopped speaking or like there was never really that sort of thing.

So I guess you never really knew if like we were actually together, although you knew lots about him. Yeah, that was the question that sort of thing. So I guess you never really knew if like we were actually together, although you knew lots about him. Yeah, that was the question that I commonly asked in the chat. I just didn't read out. I was like, are you together? Are you official? And that's all I kept asking.

Yeah, it's so funny. Okay, so obviously now you're together. Have you found yourself in like any like relationship routines? Do you think you're in like the honeymoon stage? Like how are you feeling about like being in a brand new relationship? Yeah, well, I definitely think we're in the honeymoon stage. We haven't, yeah. But I also hope that we're always like that, obviously.

Like I honestly feel like in the relationships I've been in, I've never really not been in that. Like I don don't obviously it's so nice to be comfortable with someone and like we're both so comfortable around each other and like I remember both of us had said to each other after the first time we saw each other it feels like we've known each other forever because we were so comfortable around each other like like really comfortable very comfortable I'm talking more than my friends who've been with their boyfriends for years like we were just so comfortable it was so easy but um but yeah I still would like but also at the same time like I hate when in a relationship like people stop putting an effort and like

stop going on dates and doing things like that. Like that to me is the exciting part. That should be a continuous thing. Even if you've been together 10 years, I'm like you should still go on a date. Yeah, exactly. Like my parents, they still do that and they've been together like 30 something years and they still go out on dates.

That's what keeps it exciting. That is, that's a relationship though. It should always be like that. Like you said, I feel like the honeymoon stage should never end. Yeah, exactly. it's actually funny because my friend Ruby messaged me and she was like oh my god there was you saying like however many months ago like I just hope that I have what my parents have and she was like and now you're in a relationship like what the hell but yeah so I I definitely do think obviously we're in that stage but I hope that we don't really ever come out of that stage well I have loved getting the down low the debrief

on everything your current relationship this season one question though when do I get to meet him I know well yes you've met my family yeah't met your family. Well, I want to meet him. I'm so excited to meet him. I know, I want you to meet him. I really, really do. I want to meet him. I'm sure you will meet him soon. I feel like a double date is definitely on the cards.

For real. I was on my phone earlier and someone's DM'd me saying, wait, I screenshot it because I was like, surely not. Someone messaged me saying hi you alright I know you said you were super single now that Safana's got a boyfriend
